Kenny will be taking his Poets & Pirates 2008 Tour to Gillette Stadium, the home of the NFL´s New England Patriots, July 26. " You know it's just surreal, but what a way to start out our year and our tour," marvels Kenny. "I was home for Thanksgiving, thinking about how far we've come and the people who've been a part of it, like the fans that have come out and rocked with us in Boston for years. Boston, Massachusetts? A kid from outside Knoxville like me? It´s kinda crazy. But it's amazing how people everywhere like to get together, have a party, forget about what's bothering them." Joining Kenny for this year's show—sponsored by Corona Beer—is a lineup featuring past CMA Entertainer of the Year Keith Urban, rocker Sammy Hagar, LeAnn Rimes and Gary Allan. "There isn't a kind of show I don't like playing," Kenny says. "But there's something about the stadium shows. There is no rush like it."
